Americans are valuable commodities. America's adversaries know it and too often, when given the opportunity, our enemies kidnap, arrest and hold hostage Americans in an effort to get what they want. The United States Government maintains robust diplomatic and military programs to bring Americans home; but the process is often slow and bureaucratic. Bryan Stern isn't waiting around for permission to act. He's the founder of Grey Bull Rescue, a nonprofit that specializes in pulling people out of the worst situations on Earth including conflict zones, collapsed governments, and failed evacuations where no one else is coming. Since its founding, Grey Bull has led over 700 missions in more than 70 countries, rescuing thousands of Americans and allies left behind.From SOF Week 2025 Fran Racioppi sat down with Bryan to talk about what it means to lead through chaos. They broke down the rescue of 117 Americans from Afghanistan in 2021, how Grey Bull makes life-and-death decisions with limited information, and why Bryan believes the phrase “No American Left Behind” isn't negotiable; for the government or its citizens.We also discussed the future of rescue operations. As global instability increases and our enemies get smarter, the need for fast, precise, off-grid capability is only going up. Grey Bull is filling a gap where the government can't move fast enough and showing what's possible when the mission comes first.This episode is about courage, clarity, and acting when no one else can. Because leadership under pressure means getting the job done, no matter how impossible it looks.Highlights0:00 Introduction1:57 Welcome to SOF Week 20253:58 The Mission of Grey Bull Rescue8:03 How do you choose who to rescue?11:48 Government Entities Relationships15:56 Founding Grey Bull Rescue25:03 Making Bad Deals32:45 Finding The Next Battlefield47:21 Overcoming Fears of Taking ActionQuotes“Our mission is to rescue Americans and allies from denied areas, war zones, and natural disasters wherever the government is not.”“I answer to two people and two people only: God and the families of the people we're trying to rescue.”"Bureaucracy doesn't bleed.

When we lose vision, we lose passion, generosity, and purpose. But when vision is restored, resources, revelation, and resurrection power flow again.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEPull up a cozy seat, queen—this one's an inner-circle chat about building your Icon Blueprint with faith, focus, and follow-through. If you've got a God-sized vision but the “how” feels heavy, I'm handing you a gentle, grounded roadmap: sow the seeds, touch your dream daily, and prepare for the “suddenly.” Because miracles love a woman in motion.We're talking baby steps and bold moves—the tiny habits that stack and the courageous leaps that shift your season. You'll learn how to define a clear vision, align actions with values, practice gratitude that magnetizes, and create a simple quarterly → monthly → weekly rhythm that keeps you moving without burnout or perfectionism.By the end, you'll feel lighter, clearer, and fully resourced to play the long game with divine timing, not frantic hustling. Your dream life is built brick by brick—God's plan, pure perfection—and every seed you plant counts.KEY TAKEAWAYSICON BLUEPRINT = FAITH + ACTION: Sow daily seeds and be ready for your “suddenly.”TRUTH BOMB: Overwhelm isn't a sign to quit; it's a cue to simplify the next step.EMPOWERING SHIFT: From “all at once” to quarterly → monthly → weekly momentum.ALIGNED ACTION: Do one baby step + one bold move today. Touch the dream, don't just think it.THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: THE ICON BLUEPRINT — BABY STEPS + BOLD MOVESYour dream needs all sizes of steps—the tiny consistent ones that compound and the brave, visibility-making leaps. This two-part practice keeps you in motion without the spiral, so you can honor divine timing while taking aligned action every day.STEP 1 — SOW YOUR SEEDS (BABY STEPS): Pick one small, doable action that moves your vision forward today: send the email or make the call, journal or visualize your next milestone, declutter one vibe-killing space, turn off notifications after 8pm, request two phone-free dinners this week, or unfollow/mute 20 energy drains. Touch the dream daily.STEP 2 — SHOOT YOUR SHOT (BOLD MOVES): Choose one courageous action you've been avoiding: go LIVE, deliver the pitch, book the interview, slide into the DMs for the collab, ask for the raise, block time for yourself without apology, or implement the boundary you've been postponing. Momentum loves decisiveness.Pro tip: Break the big annual goal into 4 quarterly goals, then into monthly focuses, then into weekly targets. Build in carryover space, expect detours, and quiet the negative self-talk with a reframe. Celebrate weekly and monthly progress—every seed matters.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: The Magic of Faith and Aligned Action00:34 Sacred Boundaries and Resources01:19 Embracing Big Dreams02:11 Overcoming Fear and Paralysis06:14 Defining Your Iconic Vision07:23 Touching the Dream Daily11:17 Taking Aligned Action17:28 The Myth of Overnight Success21:51 Living in Expectation of Great Things24:57 Playing the Long Game27:27 Conclusion: Keep Sowing Seeds

Text 'em here!Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you work, pray, or push...your breakthrough just won't come?You're doing everything “right.” You're showing up. You're trying to stay faithful. But deep down, you still feel behind...like your life should be further along by now.In this raw and honest episode, I open up about what God revealed to me after a big milestone in my life and the one reason your business success might be delayed that no one talks about: your inability to be content right where you are.You'll learn how discontentment quietly fuels burnout, anxiety, and frustration...and how to finally find peace in your current entrepreneurial season without losing your drive for more.Because when you learn to be content while you pursue, peace replaces pressure… and that's when doors start opening.

The road to mastery is paved with small improvements every day.Communicating can feel daunting at times. What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”As a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Chiney OgwumikeEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You Ep.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:20) - Communication on the Court (04:02) - Performing Under Pressure (06:11) - Lessons from Great Coaches (08:21) - Embracing Imperfection and Authenticity (11:43) - Strategies for Effective On-Air Communication (16:16) - The Final Three Questions (19:09) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Burnout recovery often hides in fear of change. You cling to safety nets, but regret costs more than risk. Through Scripture and recalibration, discover how trust — not credentials — is the path to aligned expansion.Burnout recovery isn't only about doing less — sometimes it's about learning to trust God enough to release the nets you've been clinging to. High-capacity humans often carry decision fatigue, role confusion, and identity drift, mistaking safety for alignment.In this Sunday episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, Julie weaves neuroscience, Scripture, and identity-level transformation into one powerful invitation. Drawing from Matthew 4:18–22, she unpacks how Peter, Andrew, James, and John left their nets behind — not because they had credentials, but because they had faith that where Jesus was leading was worth the risk.It's not just an ancient story. Today, it might look like leaving a stable career for a calling you can't yet explain. It might look like stepping into leadership when you'd rather stay in the comfort of what you've already mastered.Through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR), you learn to retrain the nervous system so it no longer confuses unfamiliar with unsafe. Instead of seeing God's invitation as danger, you begin to recognize it as alignment. This isn't another mindset tactic or productivity hack — it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective.Anchoring Scripture: Matthew 4:18–22 (NLT). Category-of-one anchor: Without recalibration, risk feels like danger. With recalibration, risk becomes trust.Today's Micro Recalibration: “If I trusted God enough to leave the familiar nets behind, what expansion would I say yes to?”If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

What does it take to keep creating, even after dozens of false starts? In this deeply insightful encore episode, I'm sharing my conversation with the legendary author Edwidge Danticat.  Edwidge shares how she found her own voice as a writer and offers a candid look into her artistic practice today. We talk about the "dance with fear", and the "20 notebooks of false starts" for her current novel, and the practical mindset it takes to push through creative blocks.  This is a powerful and reassuring conversation for any creator who has ever felt stalled by perfectionism or self-doubt.

seg om at alle hadde det godt.En: He spoke with each of them, making sure everyone was okay.No: Det vi gjorde dem sterkere.En: What they did made them stronger.No: Frykten forsvant sakte, erstattet av en følelse av samhold.En: The fear slowly vanished, replaced by a sense of camaraderie.No: Til slutt begynte stormen å avta.En: Eventually, the storm began to subside.No: Skyene drev bort, og avslørte

This week on Anchored Truth, Andra is diving in to physical ways we can combat fear and anxiety! Our bodies are holy temples for the Lord and we are commanded to take care of them! These physical tools will help you decrease the stress on your body and help you work it out of your soul in a physical way! podcasts@choosinghimministries.orgContent Worksheet for this LessonSession 2: Spiritual Tools for Fighting FearIf you haven't watched Session 1 & 2, I encourage you to go back and listen! If you can't, here's a quick refresher. In Session One, we talked about how fear and anxiety are unavoidable in life, but we must make sure they don't become strongholds in our spirits. We reviewed ways to identity if our fear/anxiety has become a stronghold and touched on the phrase “even if.” Even if God chooses to not answer our prayers in the way we want, we will fear not. Session Two was on spiritual tools we can use to thwart Satan's attack on us. We talked about praise and worship music, clinging to the word, keeping a faith journal and facing the dreaded "even if." Key Scripture for This SessionLuke 12:27-28 “"Consider how the lilies grow: they neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith!" Discussion Questions What were your thoughts after reading Luke 12:27-28?What ways do you combat fear and anxiety in a physical way? Which physical tool we spoke about today inspired you the most? Do you have a way of fighting fear and anxiety that wasn't mentions?How do you feel about facing your fear and your "even if?"

Within 17 months, she reached $1M in revenue without ads, and in just five years, she built a thriving multi-million-dollar business that has helped nearly 500 others do the same.Together we talk about:✨ How to recognize the difference between fear and wisdom.✨ Why conversations, not manipulationare the heart of authentic business growth.✨ The mindset shift that carried Jeanne from despair to destiny.✨ Why it's never too late to step into the vision God has for you.Her story is a living testimony that fear doesn't get the final say, faith and action do.

Eddie Donnellan is a surfer, father, and the founder of the MeWater Foundation, which celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year. Calling in from his home near Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Eddie shares how skating a curb growing up with a stranger led to a single 15-minute conversation that changed the trajectory of his life and led him to a lifelong connection with surfing and the ocean. Eddie reflects on his own upbringing, his mother's resilience as an immigrant and educator, and how those lessons shaped his work in children's mental health and his passion for creating opportunities for underserved youth. He explains how MeWater uses surfing and time in nature as a conduit for healing, confidence, and community, and why sharing a child's very first wave can be the most powerful moment of all. The conversation touches on the challenges and triumphs of running a nonprofit, partnerships with brands like YETI and Patagonia, and why integrity matters when it comes to working with supporters. Eddie also shares what's next for MeWater, from college scholarships to taking kids on tropical trips that expand their world, as well as personal reflections on fatherhood, setting boundaries, and the lessons he's learned from the kids who inspire him.

Guest: Dia Bondi Guest Bio: Dia Bondi is a Communications Catalyst for high-impact people. In her private coaching and programs, she works with C-level leaders, VC-backed founders, and ambitious professionals, helping them find their voice and lead with it. Her workshops and talks are hosted by corporations including Quartz, Salesforce, Google's X-team, and Dropbox. In global sport, she helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics. After attending auctioneering school for fun, she translated the techniques she learned into a program that prepares ambitious professionals, and especially women, to ask for more and leave nothing on the table, called Ask Like an Auctioneer. She's been featured on CNBC Make It, Forbes, and Fast Company. Her book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask for More and Get It, is available now.​   Key Points: Dia's Backstory & Career Path Started her career in fitness, where she loved helping people feel powerful and embodied. Then, transitioned into training and development (professional development) after college. She discovered her passion for storytelling and communication while observing a workshop for finance leaders. Dia founded Dia Bondy Communications in 2009 to help leaders and VC-backed founders communicate effectively in high-stakes moments.   "Ask Like an Auctioneer" Concept Inspired by her side work as a fundraising auctioneer. The key principle: ask big enough to get a “no”, because a “no” signals you've reached the upper limit of what's possible. In business, people often limit their asks based on what they think they can get, leaving money and opportunity on the table. Instead of selling to the first yes, push further to uncover maximum value.   Overcoming Fear of Asking Fear of rejection keeps people from asking boldly. Many assume rejection damages relationships, but often it doesn't. Leaders should teach teams that discomfort (the Zofo—Zone of Freaking Out) is a signal of courage and potential growth. Reframe rejection: it's information about value, not a judgment of personal worth.   Lessons from Auctioneering for Business & Sales · Price = a reflection of value, not worth. The same item can sell for vastly different amounts depending on the audience. · Know your “reserve.” Like an auctioneer's minimum acceptable price, know your bottom line before asking. · People are irrational. Decisions are often emotional, even in data-driven environments—so storytelling is critical.   Four Types of Asks That Drive Growth 1.     Money – dollars, budgets, contracts. 2.     Influence – visibility, access to networks, platforming yourself. 3.     Authority – positioning yourself to make important decisions. 4.     Balance – aligning deals and clients with the kind of work you actually want.   Why People Struggle with Asking Fear of rejection. Lack of clarity on what to ask for and when to ask. Sometimes people make asks that are too small, too vague, or to the wrong audience.   Framework for a Strategic Ask (first 4 of 6 steps) Define your main concrete goal. Identify the next big move toward that goal. Determine the ask that advances that move. Ensure the ask is big enough to risk rejection. Storytelling Framework: “Blocker Buster” What your audience wants. What's blocking them from achieving it? How do you remove the blockers? Your ask (to move them forward).   Big Takeaways Asking boldly is a skill that can be learned. The most powerful ask live in the Zofo—the zone of freaking out. Rejection is not failure; it's valuable feedback about what the other side values. Asking strategically, with courage and clarity, maximizes opportunities for growth, influence, and alignment.   Guest Links: Connect on LinkedInCon Connect on Instagram https://www.diabondi.com/salesology Download The Powerful Ask Plan, a free tool to help you design a strategic ask.     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” (Mark 5:34)   Sponsor - The Ember Collective: “Holistic wellness in light of eternity.” The Ember Collective is a community of women passionate about holistic wellness through the lens of our Catholic faith.
